About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Adventure! I'd like to travel the world on a motorcycle and see places very few others get to see...

ABOUT ME

I'm a very open-minded, free-spirited adventurer. I love experiencing different cultures and I have no qualms with the way people live their lives or cultural peculiarities. I happily share what I have and what I've learned in life and only expect mutual respect in return. Who knows, we might learn something from each other!

PHILOSOPHY

We regret more the things we didn't do than the things we did.
Life's too short for bad coffee.
It's easier to ask forgiveness than permission.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Any way I can! I love different cultures and learning about the ways others live their lives and the experiences they've had.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a few folks who started their journeys through Africa in Cape Town. I love helping people get themselves settled before embarking on their African adventures. Cape Town is an easy entry into the peculiarities of Africa.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't get much time to read any more but I used to enjoy high fantasy quite a bit. David Eddings, Raymond E Feist, David Drake, etc.
As for music, I'm pretty open-minded but my heart will always be with rock. Anything from Southern rock to serious metal.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driving a 70's Renault 5 TS (front-wheel drive) over the Drakensburg, through the snow and ice in Winter and laughing at the struggling 4x4's.
